Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Anderson Silva #FA-ASI sells for $125 against $71.76 raw: a $53.24 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($114) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
